White people are denying African Americans
the right to vote because they are prejudice
and feel superior to them.
There is a very long line of African American people waiting to vote, waiting for equal treatment, waiting for freedom.
Why are white people denying the African American people the right to vote,
even if the president and the government of the United States of America is
supporting them and giving them the right to vote?
The African Americans are determined and
show perseverance by fighting the clerks who
are denying them the right to vote with words,
not fists.
All of the African Americans are peering over each others shoulders.
What are they looking for? They might be looking for a clerk who is obeying the law
and letting them vote, or a fellow citizen who was denied the right to vote, finally being
able to vote easily, without having to pass a test that is impossible to answer.
The white people are probobly voting while
the African Americans are waiting in an
very long line to vote.
African Americans are waiting in a very long line to vote.
Do the African Americans ever show how angry they are on the inside that they aren't
treated equally to the clerks or complain to the police or government?

In the novel, A Tugging String, there are many examples of prejudice, racism, and injustice. Dorothy, by law, has the right to vote, but is faced with many obstacles because she is African American. When Dorothy first arrives at the registration office, the door she's supposed to enter is locked. Although she knocks and gets the clerk's attention, the clerk doesn't get up to open the door for her, she goes back to her work and acts as if Dorothy is invisible. The "whites" door would never be locked because they were considered superior to African Americans. If the door happened to be locked by accident, the clerk would have happily gotten up and opened the door for the white person. The "colored" door was locked because the clerk was trying to deny Dorothy and other African American people the right of being able to vote. Once, when Dorothy enters the registration office, there are cigarettes littered all over the "colored" section of the registration office, but the "white" section of the office is perfectly clean. The "colored" side of the office is covered in cigarettes because the clerks were prejudice and didn't believe that the African American people should be treated equally, so to show them that the white people were superior, they kept the white people's area clean, showing disrespect and racism to the African American people.

In chapter six of the book the A Tuggling String, John Lewis was a negro and the white's ran over him with a horse and he had to be brought to the hospital imedietly and a lot of other people got hurt badly too. He had a fraction of his skull and thats why he had to go to the hospital.

In chapter 6 I think that the way they treated negros was awful, terrible, ferocious, and many other things that I can't even discribe. Dr. King believed that even if he and his followers were marching and some police officers started beating them with clubs and then threw them in jail, he believed that violence was not needed, so if he was being beaten he would not fight back, not even in self defense. Negros were discriminated by the white people of the south. Even Govenor Wallace's moto was "segregation today, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever."
